Set-up boxes / slip-lid boxes – what can they do and what are they there for?
Set-up boxes or slip-lid boxes are used in many industries. It is important that the customer’s requirements for the box are met and that functionality is guaranteed. Of course, collapsible boxes can also be colored in such a way that they catch the viewer’s eye. The collapsible boxes are used in the food, pharmaceutical and tool industries. Due to their practical shape, these slip-on lid boxes are suitable for multiple use, as the desired products can be easily removed and refilled if necessary. For practical use, collapsible boxes are particularly suitable for storing paper or magazines. This gives your end consumers the opportunity to easily remove the desired product and refill it more quickly if necessary. Flat-leaf binders can also be ideally stored in collapsible boxes.
Functionality of erecting boxes
Due to their shape, erecting boxes are also known as lidded boxes, telescope boxes or telescope cartons. This is due to the fact that a carton is usually in two parts and consists of a lid and a base. The traditional shape is usually cuboid or cube-shaped, more rarely polygonal or even round or oval. The lid of the erecting box is designed to be slightly larger than the base so that it can be slipped over, which should make it clear why erecting boxes are also called slip lid boxes. Flat lids with a low internal height are usually used, whereas deep lids that cover the full height of the item are rare. There are also other types of slip lid cartons where the lid is part of the packaging, such as hinged lids, which are usually attached to the long side of the container.
2-Pkt?, 4PKT,… Which erecting boxes are available?
Gluing is very important for the cohesion of the corners of erecting boxes. For this reason, a distinction is made between 2-point, 4-point and 6-point glued erecting boxes. While the 2-point glued box is open on one side, the 4-point glued box is the classic erecting box. In contrast, only the lid is added to the 6-point glued box. The erecting boxes are also supplied folded together in order to transport as much volume as possible to the customer. In addition, the erecting process is also carried out manually or by machine, so that these slip lid cartons are immediately ready for use.
